Happy Walks for Your Furry Friend!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’ve loved animals since my childhood, and have been relied on to walk dogs/feed cats of numerous friends and family over the years. I have watched pets of all sizes and ages, and know how to tailor a daily schedule to their ever changing needs. I also have a dog of my own, Bean. My husband and I adopted him in April 2022. He’s our adventure buddy- we love to take him on hikes and be anywhere outside, which I would love to do with your dog as well. As a passionate dog lover with years of experience, I’m here to provide your furry friend with the care, attention, and exercise they need. Whether it's a walk around the block, a fun adventure in the park, or a quick drop-in to give them some TLC, I’m here to help! Dog Walking Services: Tailored Walks: Whether your dog loves a brisk stroll or a leisurely walk, I adjust the pace to suit their needs. Safe & Fun Adventures: I make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, sniffing, and exploring in a safe environment. Solo or Group Walks: I offer one-on-one walks or group outings (if your dog enjoys the company of others). Daily Updates: I’ll send you photos or messages to let you know how your pup is doing during their walk. Dog Drop-In Visits: Feeding & Fresh Water: I’ll make sure your dog has food, fresh water, and any special care they need while you're away. Play & Attention: Drop-in visits include quality playtime, tummy rubs, and companionship so your dog isn't lonely while you're out. Bathroom Breaks: I’ll take your dog outside for bathroom breaks and ensure they're comfortable. Medication Administration (if needed): I’m experienced in administering medication to dogs, whether it’s pills or topical treatments. Why Choose Me? Experienced & Caring: With 3+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities, your dog is in great hands. Trustworthy & Reliable: I’m committed to providing your dog with the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. Flexible Hours: I offer both dog walking and drop-in visits to suit your schedule and your dog's needs. I look forward to meeting your dog and giving them the love and care they need!

Appreciate the care given to Daisy for 6 days when out of town.. Received daily photos of Daisy having fun with their dog Bean. She is high energy and having a yard and playmate is the best. Many thanks.

Goldie had a great stay with Ben and Sarah. She's 14 years old and can be a grouchy old lady but she became fast friends with Bean. I really appreciated the pictures and updates and knew she was in good hands!

I had a wonderful experience with Sarah and Ben-- they were excellent communicators and helped me set up a stay for my dog on short notice seamlessly and stress-free. They've got a wonderful outdoor space with a fence far from busy roads and a friendly dog of their own, which was great for my own playful dog, but they were also attentive to his needs to not go overboard with the activity due to his health issues. Can't recommend enough!

Sarah and Ben were outstanding caretakers for my Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, Polly, a high-energy, powerhouse, whose mind hasn’t caught up to her body sometimes. Their dog, Bean, was a bonus, who was a great playmate in their extensive fenced yard for the 2 days Polly boarded there. I waited too long to book, but they were able to accommodate me after returning from an Alaska vacation themselves.
